“If the State Budget is not approved on time, in such cases, at the beginning of the budget year, the budget expenditure each month may not exceed 1/12 of the expenditure of the State Budget of the previous budget year. During the budget year, the Seimas may change the budget. It shall be changed according to the same procedure according to which it is drawn up, adopted, and approved. When necessary, the Seimas may approve an additional budget.”
If the State Budget is not approved on time, monthly expenditure at the start of the budget year may not exceed 1/12 of the previous year's budget expenditure. During the budget year the Seimas may amend the budget by the same procedure used to draw up and approve it, and may approve an additional budget when necessary.
If the Seimas has not approved the budget by 31 December, in January the ministries may spend no more than one twelfth of the previous year's amount.
Memorise the fraction 1/12 and that the Seimas both amends the budget during the year and approves any additional budget.
